  • The Passage of the Comic Book to the Animated Film: the Case of The
    THE PASSAGE OF THE COMIC BOOK TO THE ANIMATED FILM: THE CASE OF THE SMURFS Frances Novier Baldwin, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Marie-Christine Koop, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Christophe Chaguinian, Committee Member Lawrence Williams, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Baldwin, Frances Novier. The Passage of the Comic Book to the Animated Film: The Case of the Smurfs. Master of Arts (French), August 2011, 56 pp., bibliography, 31 titles. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of history and culture on the passage of the comic book to the animated film. Although the comic book has both historical and cultural components, the latter often undergoes a cultural shift in the animation process. Using the Smurfs as a case study, this investigation first reviews existing literature pertaining to the comic book as an art form, the influence of history and culture on Smurf story plots, and the translation of the comic book into a moving picture. This study then utilizes authentic documents and interviews to analyze the perceptions of success and failure in the transformation of the Smurf comic book into animation: concluding that original meaning is often altered in the translation to meet the criteria of cultural relevance for the new audiences. Copyright 2011 By Frances Novier Baldwin ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am particularly grateful to Dr. Marie-Christine Koop for suggesting the topic for my thesis.

This e-book may not be sold or distributed for commercial purposes, and may be removed from circulation at the owners' request. To smurfy friends old and new, we re-introduce ourselves to you... Once upon a time, long ago, in a wooded forest, lived happy little creatures called Smurfs. They were good, living in harmony with nature and lending a helping hand to all creatures great and small. But there also lived an evil wizard named Gargamel. He was BAAAAAAD!!! Why he hated the Smurfs so much, not even his Mummy knew. But he was committed to getting them if it was the last thing he ever did. Now the forest is still there. And if you listen very carefully, you might still hear Gargamel yelling in anger. And, if you're good, you just might catch a glimpse of US... The Smurfs! Introduction This e-book is a collection of original comic strips, drawings and animation-style expression sheets of the Smurfs, those little blue characters created by the late Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, better known by his pen name Peyo. In recent years they've had a revival in pop culture thanks to the motion pictures The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2 from Sony Pictures Studios. I found myself caught up in the latest wave of smurfmania when I was at a local McDonald's near John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California after work.
